OVERVIEW
A sports injury doesn’t just hurt when you are playing. It sneaks into the simple stuff you do every day. Twist your knee, and suddenly, walking across the parking lot feels longer than it should. Straining your shoulder and even rolling over in bed can set it off. Pull a back muscle, and now loading groceries into the trunk turns into a whole project. At Modern Medicine of Sun Lakes, AZ, we know it’s about how much it takes from your routine. We ask questions first: when did this start, what sets it off, and what have you already tried? That way, we can shape a plan that makes sense for you, not just for the injury.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Getting on the calendar is easy. Call our Sun Lakes office or pick a time online. We’ll go over what to bring, how long that first visit usually runs, and whether you’ll need notes for work, school, or even your golf league.

Healing takes steps. First visits focus on calming the pain and making basic movement easier. As things settle, we shift toward building strength and steadiness so your body holds up during the activities you care about most.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
That first session is part talking, part moving. We’ll check balance, flexibility, and strength. If something deeper seems possible, we’ll get imaging so you’re not left wondering.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
No two patients need the same thing. Some benefit from hands-on therapy, others from targeted exercises or drills. As pain eases, we add in movements that look like what you actually do like golf swings, pickleball drills, gardening, or just lifting around the house.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Follow-ups are where things stick. They give us a chance to see what’s working, adjust when needed, and stop flare-ups before they snowball.

I highly recommend Modern Physical Therapy in Sun Lakes. Dr. McKenna Brown was my Physical Therapist. She was excellent and when I left, so did the pain I arrived with. Both of her Techs, Laurence and Brayden were great. They all work together like a well oiled machine. It was easy to tell that everyone there, including Jake PT were all good at their jobs. It was always a pleasure to be greeted by Lexi at the front desk. Needless to say I was kind of sorry I had leave but I plan on stopping by to say hello from time to time.

I’ve had such a positive experience here! The entire team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and easy to talk to. They know every patient by name and remember the details of your care. They work together seamlessly to make sure you feel supported, confident, and prepared—both in sessions and at home. They’ve also been super flexible with my work schedule. I was nervous going in based on past PT experiences, but this team completely changed that. Highly recommend!!!!

With the help of Dr. McKenna Brown and her staff, I was able to regain my mobility and get back to my normal routine. She was patient, understanding, and encouraging, and I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. Jake and all the staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t thank them enough for the amazing care they provided.

What Are You Experiencing?
Most people don’t walk in knowing the exact treatment. They just know something hurts. That’s enough. Use the short form to tell us what’s going on, even if it’s just “my back feels tight” or “this pain won’t leave me alone.” Once we get it, we’ll give you a call and talk through what might be happening and how we can help.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is so strong you can’t think straight, don’t wait. Call 911 or get to the hospital. Your safety comes first. Once that’s handled, we’ll be here to focus on the next steps with you.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
This kind of pain doesn’t always stop your day, but it makes everything harder. Some describe it as sharp, others say it’s dull and always there. However you explain it, just write it down. We’ll use that to start figuring out what’s going on.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Little aches may seem easy to ignore, but they add up. A stiff shoulder in the morning, sore feet after work, or that one spot that acts up every now and then, they matter too. Tell us what you’ve noticed, and we’ll help you get ahead of it.
